1877.] BUTTERFLIES FROM DUKE-OF-YORK ISLAND. 149 
have the six silky black spots on the anterior wings mentioned in 
the description, though the uppermost is almost obsolete. Until 
examples from Woodlark Island are compared with these specimens, 
it will not be possible to say if they really belong to P. telemachus 
or not. 
38. Paprttio poLyporws? 
A male and a female of a species closely allied to P. polydorus, L., 
is in the collection. The species differs in its much shorter secon- 
daries, and in the almost total disappearance in the male of the red 
submarginal spots of the upperside. It seems most nearly allied to 
the true P. polydorus, and is perhaps but a local form, which it is 
hardly necessary to characterize at present. 
HESPERID2. 
39. TAGIADEs, sp. ? 
A specimen of a species allied to 7. japetus (Cr. Pap. Ex. 
t. 365. f. E, F), but differing in having a large white spot on the 
secondaries, which is surrounded by a dark border between it and the 
white fringe of the outer margin. As only a single specimen is sent, 
it is not advisable to name the species, if such it be, at present. 
40. PAMPHILA AUGIAS. 
Papilio augias, Linn. 
A single worn specimen, apparently belonging to this widely 
ranging species. 
HETEROCERA. 
Mr. Brown’s collection contains fourteen species of Moths, the 
genera of which and some of the species we have, with Mr. Butler’s 
assistance and by comparison with the specimens in the British 
Museum, been able to determine. They are as follows :— 
AGARISTIDA. 
1. OpaTHaumis tincea (Cr.) Pap. Ex. t. 228. f. B: 
Agrees with specimens so named in the British Museum and with 
Cramer’s figure. Cramer, however, states that his insect came froin 
Surinam. 
Hypsip@. 
This family is represented by three genera. 
2, 3. Hypsa by two specimens (in bad condition) of two species, 
one of which appears to be allied to Hypsa intacta, Walk. (List 
Lepidopt. Brit. Mus. part ii. p. 451); the other approaches the 
species figured in the ‘ Voyage of the Astrolabe’ as Agnais australis 
(Boisd. Voy. Astr. p. 252, t. 5. f. 3); but the hind wings, instead of 
being yellow edged with black, are uniform dingy brown ; the white 
mark at the base of the primaries is also absent.
